Home > ADVERSE IMPACT/SYSTEMIC INVESTIGATIONS AND FEDERAL ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES: THE RULES HAVE CHANGED…IS YOUR ORGANIZATION READY?

SHRM 2011 Diversity & Inclusion Conference
PowerPoints/Handouts Available

Workplace Application: Over the past several years, employers have witnessed a dramatic increase in EEO enforcement by federal agencies such as the EEOC and OFCCP. Learn how the rules have changed, and what you can do to best prepare your organization.

The enforcement strategy increasingly used by the EEOC and the OFCCP today is based on investigating “systemic disparities,” which is different from the individual complaints-based and/or small-scale investigations of the past. Tactically similar to class-action litigation, this enforcement strategy is structured to have the broadest possible impact by using statistics to identify disparities between groups in hiring, promotion and termination rates (among other selection decisions). Learn how enforcement agencies are using teams of statisticians and testing experts to recover record settlements, and how to prepare and protect your organizations in light of this “game changing” approach.
